There are three reasons why the Pinnacle Training stands out for me. Firstly, the personalised approach – 19 E.L.I.T.E. Trainees were split up into 2 batches. That implies that an instructor worked with only 9/10 trainees over the course of two days. This gave them the time to assess and improve each trainee individually. Every one of us had at least a dozen opportunities to be in the limelight and we received feedbacks on each and every one of those occasions; not just from the instructor but also from the peer group. Secondly, the relevance of the content – this is a make-or-break parameter as far as trainings are concerned. Grammar lessons are not what we need. Thankfully, Pinnacle understands the concept. Over the course of two days, we worked on executive presence, public speaking, storytelling, impromptu speaking, one-on-one conversations and so on, all of which are relevant for any consultant. Lastly, the follow-up – Pinnacle did not intend this to be a one-time training. They had arranged for multiple tools for us to continuously improve our communication skills. We have been given access to videos of our speeches/presentations, a workbook to look back at the 2-day training and most importantly, access to our wonderful and talented instructors. You couldn’t have asked for more!
The Pinnacle Training had to live up to the expectations of 19 E.L.I.T.E. Trainees, a tough ask, but they did it. Personally, I cannot thank the E.L.I.T.E. Core Team enough for arranging the training. They had ensured that the first ever batch of Capgemini E.L.I.T.E. Trainees had all the right tools become effective communicators.
